Merrimack Valley High School student charged after confrontation with officer

CONCORD - A Merrimack Valley High School student faces five assault charges after a confrontation Monday involving school administrators and Concord police.

According to police, Dylan Chenette, 17, of Boscawen, was being taken to the principal's office for being disruptive in class when he assaulted the school resource officer and spit on a school administrator. The officer gained control of Chenette after a brief struggle and took him into custody, when Chenette threatened to "murder" the officer, police said.

A second officer arrived at the school and Chenette continued to fight with officers and refused the services of a bail commissioner.

In addition to the five counts of simple assault, Chenette is charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest or detention and criminal threatening. All of the charges are misdemeanors.

Chenette is scheduled for arraignment today at 11 a.m. in 6th Circuit District Division, Concord Court.
